Big things!

There are big things in my future! I have excitedly decided to start selling the items I'm making! At first it was fun, now it is necessary to keeping me calm and centered! It is my moment to chill, create and make something I can be proud of and add to my accomplishments for the day! I am the make and list and check it off person, and when I can create and finish an item or two each day, it just makes me smile! Keeping "the little ones alive" is always my goal for the day but when I even get some projects done, it's that much more satisfying! School is about to start so I'm anticipating some actual adult only crochet time! Which will be a first for me and so I am very excited and hopeful to be super productive during that time!

Another exciting event that I wanted to share was a craft fair! I am going to join a friend selling items at my first craft fair! She's selling some beautiful fine art and I will be selling crocheted water bottle holders, coffee cup coozies and sunglass cases! I am so excited to start this endeavor that just started as a hobby, that is now a true love and passion!

The last pictures on here are little baskets that I plan on using for my business cards at the craft fair! I thought I'd need something to put cards in and what better way to display my creations than MAKE a basket!

Water bottle holders!

So far, I've gotten really good feedback on my creations, but recently I made one that "takes the cake" as they say!!I have the coolest preteen nephews and I randomly tried a pattern that they watched me finish, and said that they could use one for Boy Scout camp! I was so thrilled, I love making things for them hand made, as they seem to appreciate and thoroughly enjoy it more than anyone else! So I got to work and even put their initials on the... WATER BOTTLE HOLDERS!

Yes sir, my newest creation is a water bottle holder! I have since make 10+ and an really getting them down to a science! The first ones had handles that were way too long, then I made smaller ones, but they were still too large for the size of person. I also started writing down exactly how many stitches for each one and have finally narrowed 2 different sizes, and I may end up with a third. This way I'll have a size for any recipient!

I'm pretty proud of my latest creations and the biggest reason is because everytime I give some one else one, I get 3 more orders, or 5!! 🥰😊🧶
